Anthony Knockaert is desperate to prove himself in the Premier League with Albion.
The French right-winger bought from Belgian club Standard Liege believes he deserved more of a chance in the top flight with Leicester.
Knockaert won the Championship with the Foxes and was a regular for them for two seasons in the second tier.
He made only nine appearances in the top flight last season before leaving for Liege on a free transfer.
Knockaert, 24, told The Argus: “I just feel a little bit bad about my time in the Premier League. I think I deserved more than what I had but this is football.
“I’m still confident that I can play in the Premier League. The aim now is to go up, to do the same with Brighton. It will be a second dream.
Knockaert, signed by the Seagulls until June 2019 for less than £2 million, is set to make his debut at Rotherham on Tuesday.
Albion remain intent on adding a striker this month to the captures of Knockaert, Richie Towell and Liam Ridgewell, although The Argus understands it is now unlikely to be Boca Juniors marksman Jonathan Calleri.
